stonedsour's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yet A Butterfly The council blocks of flats Stand Ruthless silence hangs over them Like the air over a coffin being followed to the graveyard People like deaf and dumb bumble bees stay within these walls Days mean a way time turns to nights And nights a way time turns to days back again Perpetual purposelessness shines through Dreamless hollow eyes of living skinned skeletons of men Directionless heavy footsteps of light living dead souls of men Disappear by the pubs or the bookies Around Bethnal Green The Green Land Grocers sells groceries To people of colours hated by the enraged colourless or white The old traditional graffiti still reads under the staircase “Not for Irish, Black and Dogs” Yet London bids for Olympic and regeneration bids made Politicians stand and get elected for more service to the people Where hatred grew like mosquitoes in the dirty filthy marshlands Where malaria epidemic spreads its deadly arms deep inside Of human minds Hatred grew on hatred Minds die on minds Where humanity is Nothing but deaf and dumb half slaughtered lamb Can not die yet dying all the time Can not live yet dying all the time Can not grow yet bleeding all the time The city gets heavy Night clubs and pubs Parties and dances Fashionable music and drugs And all the gears And chicks and birds and broads Regardless the Thames flows as if Buddha of the night By Westminster bridge Counting the stars in the sky The last one far away “Is that Nirvana?” What are you talking about! I can not breathe I am deaf and dumb half slaughtered lamb Can not die yet dying all the time Can not live yet dying all the time Can not grow yet bleeding all the time Yet a butterfly still stuck in my throat Yet a rainbow still hangs by my neck Yet I hold a dove of a dawn between my hands Yet I have a song to let go into the infinite sky 2:53 p.m. - 2004-04-07 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
